Phone-hacking whistleblower found dead

How did he find you?

[Redalways]

Should it be up to the police, involved in this scandal, to determine whether the death was suspicious or not? They said it was not suspicious.

[dead]

Not suspicious, like not terrorism or not racially motivated.

Quickest diagnoses available to government investigators.

[dead]

How did he find you?

Phone records.

[pointsal]

Has been to Arkansas lately?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Figures..

[BufordP]

He found you? I didn’t know you were missing.

[ClearCase_guy]

He wasn’t bound hand and foot, hanging from a staircase in a mansion? Like some pharmaceutical CEO’s girlfriend? That sort of “not suspicious”?

Multiple stab wounds in the back, two gunshot wounds to the temple. Yep, nothing suspicious here!

[Jim Scott]

Nothing new on this story but when police state that a person (not elderly or under a doctor's care) died and that the death is 'not considered suspicious', especially in a situation like this, where the dead person (Sean Hoare) was the in the center of a huge scandal, it was probably a very obvious suicide. Hoare was known for having drug and alcohol problems so he might have simply overdosed or, he could have been found with a gun still in his hand. In any case, the Medical Examiner's report should be both exhaustive and revealing.

I don't know what definition the London police use, but I think a death that looks like a suicide is a suspicious death and certainly deserves thorough investigation.

I'm a suspicious type. I would approach only death by meteor impact as non-suspicious.
